Music on Main gets the Fourth of July weekend going Thursday night, July 2 in West Bend. Downtown West Bend Association Executive Director Phil Fritsche says it’s a great show every Thursday night.

"We have got a block with the street that's closed off from Old Settlers Park, which is our Triangle Park right in the heart of downtown. There is a stage. We encourage people to come out."                                         

The City of West Bend’s festivities will take place on Saturday, July 4. The celebration of the United States of America’s 250th birthday will feature a full slate of free family activities.
